EDUCATION

JUNE 2014

HIGH SCHOOL DEPLOMA, Freedom Christian High School

I did not fully apply and devote myself to my schoolwork in High School. My grades were average at best. This, looking back, I truly regret.

ACTIVITIES

Currently, my passions and activities that I enjoy and am involved in are primarily focused on sports. I am a fairly well-rounded athlete who enjoys all kinds of sports. I enjoy anything that can be done outside such as kayaking, hiking, spike ball, golf, and my weekly workout routines which mainly involve running which I love to do outside. I also love to give back through way of encouragement, personal advice and insights, kindness, honesty and leading by example. If there were areas that were lacking when I was being coached and developing as a player and as an individual in my own personal life, I try to emphasize my efforts in those areas specifically for the kids, youth, and college students that I coach and work with. My past leadership roles have been in a variety of areas. I have co-coached an AYSO soccer team and worked as a camp counselor at a soccer camp with Bay Shore Camp in the summer of 2020. And although I am not educated in a second language, my communication and people skills have allowed me to do quite well when encountering a multi-cultural situation. To follow that up, I plan to eventually re-learn Spanish in a variety of forms. Other achievements that I have acquired is CPR and First AID certification. Although, those have both expired this past year. And among all the sports in the United States, soccer is one of my two biggest passions and has taught me a lot about life and helping me develop as a person. Soccer has also had an impact on my leadership skills and qualities which I hope to continue to use wherever it is that I may serve. Whether that is in an athletic setting or in a research & clinical setting.
